general bob scales, good to have you on. >> thank you, jon. heather: we are getting a new snapshot of the health of the economy right now. according to the labor department, unemployment fell to 7.7% in november after adding 146,000 jobs last month. but the dip in the jobless rate due mostly to the fact that more americans, well, they simply stopped looking for work. fox business network's peter barnes is live for us at the white house with the latest on this. peter? >> reporter: that's right, heather. that 7.7% for november was the lowest level since december 2008 and the lowest level of president obama's presidency, and that was down from 7.9% in october. non-farm payrolls up 146,000 in november. both of these numbers were somewhat of a surprise here, somewhat above expectations because economistses had been expecting -- economistses had been expecting that because of hurricane sandy, job creation might have been a little slower last month, the unemployment rate might have stayed a little bit higher. it turns out that sandy did have an impac

if for example bob costas had said we ought to have the death penalty for people who commit these kind of crimes i wonder if conservatives would still be upset that he was making a political statement. jon: what about personal responsibility. saying if this guy had been able to control his anger he would still be alive today. i mean there are all kinds of what if's, and to come out the day after he kills the mother of his child and kills himself, i mean he could have done it with a butcher knife. >> again i wonder if he had said we need more traditional values in america and make sure that people don't commit these kind of crimes for which they should be severely punished conservatives would have embraced him for talking about traditional values. the same people objecting to what he said and reading too much into it would have a very different attitude if he phrased it on the other side. >> if he says what the liberals like they would like it if they said what they hate they would hate him for it. why get on a sports cast and issue a political opinion especially when the elephants in t

rick: these laws, bob, they don't ban unions. they give people the choice whether this he want to join and pay dues or not. >> republicans say, why should a republican union member contribute to a union that will then turn around that money and elect a democrat? they say that's unfair. but, unions say, listen, if you go back a century when there were very little union presence, or no union presence the working conditions were all of full. rick: we've seen this now happen in wisconsin, in ohio. we're watching it play out now on the streets in lansing, michigan. nationally speaking, what does this mean for the president who won a second term in no small part because of the support, the financial backing of the unions? >> rick, i think it is fascinating that obama has injected himself in this battle. by and large he kept the wisconsin battle before the election really at arm's length. it frustrated union officials who were also frustrated with him for moving some trade deals and not seeking single-payer health care legislation inste

jon: more on this with republican senator bob corker. he was opposed to ambassador rice's possible nomination and joins us now. so she has withdrawn her name for consideration. does that in any way change the investigation into what happened in benghazi, senator? >> oh, i don't think so. i think certainly susan rice had nothing to do with the security. i think most of us just thought that she was a little bit more of a political operative than she was a principal and had concerns about her service. i never thought she was going to be appointed, by the way, or at least i haven't for some time because i think the white house was able to see the reception that she got there. but, look, benghazi, i was able to yesterday see the footage from the drone as far as what happened on the ground. i was able to also see from security cameras the groups that were coming in. i do think that we will continue -- there's no question we're going to continue to force a look at the security measures there because the way folks were able to come into our comp

joining us now bob cusack the manage evening editor of the hill the. great to have you here today. >> great to be here. >> many americans are frustrated that congress has taken us to the brink once again with little or no progress. what are you hearing at this moment? is there progress at this time? >> well, we are hearing that there has been progress between vice president biden and senate minority leader mitch mcconnell. still we are nearly 12 hours from the cliff. we don't have a bill. there has actually been a stunning lack of urgency on cant toll hill. on the default showdown, the government shut down there was more urgency. here there just isn't that urgency, maybe because the markets haven't been the roller coaster we thought they would be. eventually people will see less money in their paychecks unless a deal is reached and that could cause some kind of panic that could move congress. so far congress has just not moved and neither has the president. they haven't been able to get a deal. >> reporter: we keep hearing that this is not just a tax p
